Stabbing in Ponevezh
What is happening to the great Ponevezh?
Jerusalem Post:
...Meanwhile Wednesday, a 20-year-old Ponevezh Yeshiva student was severely beaten and stabbed by a number of assailants. Police said the youth, from Jerusalem, was attacked inside the yeshiva building and evacuated to Sheba Hospital in moderate condition.
The stabbing, police said, appeared to be part of an internal turf war at the prestigious Lithuanian yeshiva, which has been torn apart recently by rivaling rabbis fighting for control of the institution.
However, Ponevezh yeshiva students denied police claims that the incident was related to the ongoing feud between rabbinic camps vying for control of the yeshiva.

I can't belive this is what it has come to, please let it not be true.
What a sad commentary on the Yeshiva world when its premier Yeshiva in Israel has sunk this low. How could this happen? Who is responsible and why is it allowed to continue?
R' Harry,
Probably because it wasn't dealt with when the fights began. There's always someone willing to push the borders a bit. If fighting is allowed, someone will take it a little farther. And so, it comes to this.
First make sure the facts are clear. There is a discussion at www.mentalblog.com. It may not be so simple.
Anonymous,
Re-read the post. There were 2 stories in the JPost article. Yeshiva Orthodoxy didn't say the bochur was killed, and it seems clear that he was discussing the last two paragraphs, the story about Ponevezh
